Appearance
Freddy Fazbear is a brown animatronic bear with lighter brown accents on different parts of his body, such as his stomach, snout, inside of his ears, and the bottoms of his feet.
Freddy has blue irises with black pupils for the eyes, large black eyebrows and six freckles on his snout, three on each side in a triangular pattern. Freddy's light brown stomach can be opened, revealing a complicated, but repairable endoskeleton inside with lights and dials.
FNaF VR: Help Wanted
This model has a noticeable difference to the original Fazbear model from the original franchise. Unlike the original model, it has a raised groove on the insides of his ears, whereas the original model had concave ears. The model has a significantly upgraded endoskeleton model, in comparison to the original which is relatively simple. Another small detail the model is lacking is the raised pads on the insides of its hands, now being a smooth surface as well as the light parts of the model being more beige than the original.
FNaF AR: Special Delivery
The model in the game has a shiny plastic texture on it instead of original furry texture. It also has scratches and stains on its surface, making him look a lot older (In the announcement trailer, he also has blood stains all over his body). His eyes glow blue when attacking the player.
Freddy in Space 2
He appears to be a two-dimensional, simpler version of Freddy, unlike the original Freddy In Space, which uses three-dimensional models. He now wears a silver spacesuit with dark gray accents, such as his boots. He also sports a green with red accented laser gun. His top hat is placed on top of his space helmet.
FNaF: Into the Pit
Freddy's appearance in Into the Pit is mostly identical to his original incarnation, with only a few minor differences such as having a top row of teeth, and blue glowing eyes similar to the Yellow Rabbit's. In his jumpscare animation, he bears a striking resemblance to Withered Freddy, suggesting he may be a sort of unwithered variation of that character. As well as this, his tophate and bowtie have a slight bluish tint to them.
In a sliding puzzle minigame, Freddy appears as the puzzle in question. In this puzzle, his appearance is identical to that of the Yellow Rabbit with the same yellow colors, blue glowing irises and fleshy inside. Unlike the way he appears during regular gameplay, this variant looks much closer to regular Freddy than it does Withered Freddy.
Five Laps at Freddy's
Freddy appears as a significantly more cartoony version of himself, with a wide grin, no visible endoskeleton and dark rings around his eyes to mimic the look of the suits in the base game. Apart from the cartoony design, he remains mostly the same as his mainline counterpart.
Personality
Based on the Freddy Fazbear's Theme song in Help Wanted, during the day, Freddy loves to have fun and is also shown to be laid-back, easygoing, and happy-go-lucky. His laughter throughout the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise suggests that he is somewhat mischievous.
Special Delivery gives Freddy a new voice that is very deep and a bit glitchy, as well as a new personality. This version of Freddy seems to be more malicious, and loves taunting his victims, but is shown to be somewhat merciful, as suggested by a small few of his lines. This is also somewhat indicated by his attitude towards the series.
History
Freddy Fazbear was built for the new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in FNaF 1 after the older pizzeria with the same name from FNaF 2 is closed. He is the main mascot of the restaurant and is the singer and leader of the animatronic band.
As seen in FNaF 2 minigames, after five children had been killed by William Afton, their souls were put into the animatronics by The Marionette, including Freddy. Since the killed children were reported missing, the pizzeria was closed down.
As shown in FNaF 3 minigames, William Afton then found out about the trapped souls inside the animatronics, and decided to come back to Freddy's and destroy them one by one. Freddy along with other animatronics are dismantled, which causes the souls to break free. Terrified by the spirits, William ran into the secret safe room in the restaurant and wear the Spring Bonnie suit to hide from them. However, the springlocks in the suit suddenly malfunctioned (possibly due to the rain seeping into the building), causing the locks to become loose, resulting in his brutal death. Finally, the souls fade away.
In Special Delivery, a rebuild of Freddy Fazbear is made by the Fazbear Entertainment for the Fazbear Funtime Service, along with other animatronics and his reskins, Freddy Frostbear and Shamrock Freddy.
He also makes an appearance in The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience.
Behavior & Gameplay

Freddy Fazbear's jumpscare in Help Wanted.
FNaF VR: Help Wanted
Freddy appears in three sections of the game. During the hardmode variants of these levels, he'll take on an altered appearance known as Dark Freddy.
Five Nights at Freddy's 1
In the Five Nights at Freddy's section, Freddy appears at the second night, making his way to the player's office along with Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, just like the original game. As the player runs out of power, Freddy will play his classic jingle, "Toreador March". Note that Freddy plays his jingle when he is in the Kitchen as well. After he finished his jingle, Freddy will jumpscare the player resulting in a game over.
Parts and Service
Freddy also appears in Parts and Service. In this section, the player must follow the computer voice's instruction on removing children's accessories on different parts of his body. If the instruction isn't followed properly, such as dropping Freddy's music box; He will jumpscare the player, ending the run.
Pizza Party
While Freddy himself does not appear in Pizza Party, Party Freddy, a shadow-y version of him with glowing red eyes and teeth, does appear in the level. He will jumpscare the player if the player enters a certain room once or multiple times (depending on the room the player enters).
FNaF AR: Special Delivery

Freddy Fazbear is the first animatronic to attack the player, and one of the most common to encounter throughout the game. The player must locate him by detecting the static using the flashlight and listening to his movement and noises. His static is concentrated strongly in a small area.
When he charges at them, the player must shock him when he is visible. The player must also look away when he is in the "Haywire Mode", where he stands right in front of the player. This happens often when he is attacking the player, requiring quick reactions. It is also possible to obtain his plush suit and his CPU upon defeating him and, if the player is diligent in getting them asking a friend to send an animatronic, will have a boost in chances to drop these items.
Freddy In Space 2

Freddy Fazbear is the first playable character in the game. Freddy has a medium damage, medium range and short spread. In addition, Freddy's jump height is also average.
FNaF: Into the Pit
Freddy appears as a minor antagonist in FNaF: Into the Pit, appearing and blocking random doorways, forcing Oswald to take another route.

Trivia
FNaF VR: Help Wanted
- Unlike becoming active on Night 3 in the original game he debuted, Freddy actually starts to become active on Night 2 in the FNaF 1 level.
- Unlike in the original game, on Night 5 for FNaF 1, Freddy will stand directly in the doorway instead of staying in the corner.
- Kellen Goff was supposed to be Freddy's voice actor in Help Wanted when Freddy Fazbear's theme is played. However, the theme song is removed and his lines are thus scrapped.
- Coincidentally, Goff used to voice two of Freddy's counterparts namely Funtime Freddy and Molten Freddy.
- Goff was also intended to voice Freddy in Ultimate Custom Night, but his lines were edited and used for Fredbear instead.
- Scott said at the time, of all auditions, Goff's was the closest to what he wanted.
FNaF AR: Special Delivery
- Within the FNaF AR trailer, Freddy is seen to have red glowing eyes, despite his eyes glowing blue in the game.
- FNaF AR marks the first time of Freddy actually speaking in-game (if the scrapped Showtime from Help Wanted and playing the Toreador March are not counted).
- In St. Patrick Day Event, Freddy is given several new voice lines as well.
- While Freddy's voice actor is still unknown, Tim Simmons[1] claimed that he was the voice actor for the game because of how much it sounded like him. However later on, an Illumix employee claimed Tim wasn't the voice and then Tim stated that he didn't do the voice and Illumix got someone who sounded like Tim.
- Oddly, on the app icon Freddy's suit is more saturated than normal, giving his muzzle a more orangish look instead of the normal tan coloration.
- For some reason, the trailer depicts Freddy with red eyes when attacking, but in game and in all other promotional material, his eyes are a light blue.
- However if the players streak is high enough Freddy and all the other animatronics' eyes will turn red, implying that they are more aggressive.
- Freddy was the very first character to gain a skin in Special Delivery.
- Said skin is Shamrock Freddy.
Freddy In Space 2
- Strangely, Freddy is the only character in the game who wears an astronaut helmet.
- This is likely to stay true to Freddy's design in FNaF World's version of Freddy in Space, as in that game Freddy was simply his adventure counterpart with an astronaut helmet on.
